Understanding Open Access Colonoscopy: What You Need to Know
A colonoscopy is a procedure that examines your colon and rectum for any abnormalities using a long and flexible tube known as a colonoscope. While a colonoscopy can be life-saving by detecting and removing any precancerous polyps, some barriers still prevent people from getting one. One of the biggest barriers is the cost. However, open-access colonoscopy has emerged as a solution to making this important procedure more accessible to individuals who need it.
